12 Reasons WWE Raw Was Better Than WrestleMania 33

11. The Insanely Hot Crowd

The problem with 70,000+ crowds is that they tend to be made up primarily of casual fans, so there are rarely any particularly unique or interesting chants that make their way to the forefront.

Thankfully, Raw took place at Orlando's Amway Center, with a capacity of barely 15,000, and the post-Mania Raw typically invites those hardcore fans who have made the trip there for the entire week of WrestleMania festivities.

This year's Raw-After-Mania crowd didn't disappoint, vocally expressing their support of The Undertaker, singing along to "No Chance in Hell", thanking Brock for defeating Goldberg, demanding Balor show up, and hilariously, calling Braun Strowman a "p***y".

The crowd were awesome and contributed so much to the show's entertainment value, whereas aside from the rapturous response to The Hardyz showing up, the Mania crowd felt decidedly more bland, and it didn't help that the show's ridiculous length completely gassed them long before the end.
